Hummus and Grilled Vegetable Wraps

I love my kitchen blender. I use it to make lots of different foods – from smoothies to soups to sauces. Before I got my blender, I used to buy many of these foods from the store but, after looking at the unhealthy ingredients many of these foods can contain, I decided to make morey of my own.

This is not only healthier, it’s also more cost-effective as I can often make much more of the chosen food for about half the amount of money. Yes, it takes a few extra minutes a day to make soup and things instead of buying them, but I love cooking and have also found that pre-preparing food is very time-efficient.

One of my current favourite foods to make is hummus. It’s really easy to make and tastes amazing. I use it as a dip, and it’s also an ingredient in one of my all-time favourite lunches – the recipe that I’m going to share today!
